Yippeee!!!! My machine is done, but I can't pick it up until Friday. I asked about my little Singer and the shop feels it's worth repairing, so I'll take that with me and see what they think it's going to cost. If the cost is too high, I have my eye on a lightweight Brother that is several steps up from the Featherweight. So excellent! I'll be able to finish my project this weekend and get it shipped out next week to Linny!
